”When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf. You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning.

”I have said these things to you to keep you from stumbling. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, an hour is coming when those who kill you will think that by doing so they are offering worship to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father or me. But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them. “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

News:

We are making some changes to update the site, so please email me if you are having problems. I have changed over to a new HTML5 player, since some people were having problems with the JS player. To help simplify the visual clutter, I am also going to start having future-dated posts appear on the sidebar and be available only for those who are signed in. Again, if you have thoughts about this, send me a note.
